I am a patient advocate and senior resource support specialist. I encounter many families and individuals who are faced with the decision to seek assistance with activities of daily living. With the average cost of in-home care currently hovering around $30.00 an hour, it is very costly to have 24/7 care at home and they seek my guidance in selecting assisted living options.
For many, moving into a larger assisted living community with buy-in fees, high room/board costs plus additional care fees would not be financially sustainable for any length of time. As care needs become greater so too do care costs. It can be difficult to project what the actual living costs will be when starting this planning process. Outside of financial considerations, these types of facilities also cannot offer one-on-one support quickly because they are attending to hundreds of residents at a time. This is why I strongly recommend considering Board and Care Options. This said, not all Board and Care offer the same services and care options and some employ un-trained care staff and have numerous state citations.
I highly recommend Salton View Assisted Living for the following reasons:
• Licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing Division All employees are background checked, state registered, drug tested and must complete continuing education classes
• A Zero Citation facility
• Excellent quality of care, assistance and supervision
• Round the clock awake staff and frequent safety checks over night
• Beautiful, clean and well maintained property in close proximity to Palm Springs and Desert Hot Springs
• Secure gated premises with camera monitoring system
• Frequent updates and positive communication with staff and Administrator
• Hospice waiver that allows for hospice services to be rendered on site
• Lower priced than many competitors
• Nutritionally balanced and delicious meals
• Resident Engagement and activities
